It can be good, I don't target them that much but I've caught plenty incidently trolling for winters there in November/Dec (Great hint on location, only a few spots in Sooke you can troll near the bottom for winters!). And I've had a few battles with them in the shallow cod grounds off the some of the prime cod grounds before they RCA'd it a few years back, but the RCA only goes to 60 or 70 feet tho.
